William Naggaga Lubega

William Naggaga Lubega is a Ph.D. student in the Energy-Water-Environment Sustainability program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research explores tradeoffs between electric power grid reliability and water resource externalities under drought and heat wave conditions. Specifically, he focuses on optimal decision making in operations planning time scales under water-constrained conditions, through integration of stochastic hydrological models, power grid reliability models, and economics considerations. His work seeks to bridge the technical gap between water resource management and power grid operations, in support of integrated planning and policy development.
